Pairing Your BlackBerry with a Bluetooth Device

Think of pairing as establishing a wireless connection between your BlackBerry and a
peripheral device (headset, GPS device, external keyboard, Windows or Mac computer,
and so on). Pairing is dependent on entering a required passkey, which locks your
BlackBerry into a secure connection with the peripheral.
To pair your BlackBerry, put your Bluetooth device in pairing mode as recommended by
the manufacturer. Also, have the passkey ready to enter.

BlackBerry and establish the connection. Navigate to the Bluetooth setup screen with

Options screen by setting Discoverable to Yes or Ask. The default setting is No, which will
prevent you from pairing.
